The Chinese position of buying/investing into property certainly we in Hungary are not immune to a trend that various countries globally, have experienced.
There are the good examples of Chinese investment in property and other and unfortunately examples that have become problems for Government – communities that have caused division and somewhat social unrest .
The problem is the line – where do Governments -draw this line – to say – that’s your lot – you have this percentage of land property and other holdings – to maintain & ensure – Control & Retainment of situations that left undressed can become a Political & Social nightmare.
There must be a Ceiling QUOTA – evaluated that there is NO dominance in foreign investment and ownership that threaten the “soil” and the “core” of a countries “soul” – it’ History and it’s absolute Righteousness need to firmly strongly be focused on it’s own breed and born people. They are the Priority – there quality of life -and they are owed by there history to be the dominant focus of Government in there responsibility for there “needs” there dreams and future aspirations for them and there families for generations to come,
They are the – soil – the earthen body and soul of a countries true being and existence, and should not see a separation or sell off of there land and soils that is unbalanced dominated by Foreign Investment that has a “double edged sword” in its contractual writing,
We are 9.5 million people and AGAIN challenged by this novel coronavirus pandemic, but UNITED and Supporting Prime Minister Orban and his Government, a position I take – applauding them – for there People Focused Policies, under Prime Minister Orban have thus far implemented, to manage the present crisis and leave gaps for light to beam and be seen – that will widen and glow into the future.
We will Rise Again, driven by and from the earthen people of our beloved Hungary, to have an additional layer of human character driven by resolve in our being and that we will NEVER -Never surrender – give back nor see taken from US what Rightfully is OURS achieved from generations/centuries of Hungarian – earthen born Brothers & Sisters.
